Not so bad really. Hurricane Irene has mostly passed, leaving residual winds -which seem gustier today than last night. No thunder or lightning last night that I heard.
I finally went to bed at 2am after reading a few chapters of Darkly Dreaming Dexter (carried away from a housecooling party a couple of weeks ago). I've been wanted to check out the first novel since getting hooked on the tv show. Currently watching season 5 on DVD and realize I don't need to read the novel-so far it's not giving me any more info than I've already gleaned from four seasons (but still plan to).
Drained the water from the tub having confidence (perhaps false) that there won't be a blackout after all. My sister in Connecticut (near Rhode Island) lost electricity and reports wires downed by a tree in her front yard but isn't sure that's the electricity or cable wire. Landlines still working there.
As mentioned previously I've been watching Bryan Fuller's Dead Like Me and enjoying it more with each episode. Ironic that I'm watching it alternately with Dexter. DLM is all about death and how the Reapers deal with their job of harvesting the souls of the newly dead--knowing they cannot prevent the deaths. Meanwhile, George's family--mom, dad, baby sister is cracking up and George can't do anything about that either.
